The Kings County Museum Summer of Crafts

We are excited to share a variety of artistic projects for your child to enjoy, including numerous sensory-based crafts and activities. This 3-day program takes place on three consecutive Wednesday afternoons from 1pm – 3pm: on July 27th, August 3rd, and August 10th.
Each date has unique crafts and activities planned, so your child can either attend a specific activity that they are interested in, or they can attend all three. Our guided activities make it easy to follow instructions so kids can spend their time on the fun stuff. If your child prefers to work independently, or if your child would like a little extra help, we are happy to accommodate their needs.
To participate in a single session, the sign-up and participation fee is $5.00 per child. To participate in all three sessions, the sign-up and participation fee is $10.00.

Wednesday, August 10, 1pm – 3pm: Session 3

Marionette Makers: Paper-Bag Puppets
The last activity of our program is puppet making. Crafters can choose to make any puppet they would like: their favourite animals, a person, or even themselves! Whatever they choose to make, they’ll surely bring their puppet to life with the variety of materials and supplies we have available. We’ll also prepare some designs that can be simply assembled, customized, as well as suggestions in case anyone wants some extra help. Once the puppets have been created, crafters will complete a personality form to get to know their puppets better. This activity also includes a section for them to design their puppet’s own performance stage on paper.

*along with our crafting activities, we have a number of museum activities for kids to participate in and keep them busy: Wordsearches with historical terms, scavenger hunts throughout the museum, colouring pages of local animals, and much more.
